SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
A) Each year the City is required by state statute to update its six -year Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) for submittal to the Washington State Department of
Transportation. This plan must include all transportation projects for which state gas tax
revenue will be used.
The current plan for 2014 - 2019 included six projects that had funding. Funding for the
remainder of the projects will continue to be sought. The six projects include:
•
1. Yakima Railroad Grade Separation, Phase 4
2. North 1st Street Revitalization
3. E. Nob Hill Boulevard and Fair Avenue Intersection Improvements
4. Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety Improvements
5. Powerhouse Road Sidewalk
6. Northside Alley Paver
A Public Hearing will be held to consider adoption of a Resolution approving the six -year (TIP)
and amending the regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Capital
Facilities Element.
Projects must be listed in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STEP) in order
to be approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) to utilize Federal funds and State funds. The STIP is a prioritized program
of transportation projects, complied from local and regional plans, along with the Washington
Transportation System Plan (WTP), which provides a backbone for developing projects for the
intermodal transportation network int he State of Washington.
The STIP contains federally funded projects plus state and local projects that are regionally
significant. These projects have been identified through the planning process as the highest
priority for the available funding to the state's transportation program.
Planning activities of state and local governments are essential parts of the integrated regional
planning processes. Long range transportation planning is part of the comprehensive land use
planning carried out by local governments. Citizen participation is an integral part of the
planning process at all levels. Local Agencies are required to develop and adopt a six -year
transportation program. All local agencies are required to hold at least on public hearing during
the development of the six -year transportation program.
Project ranking has been performed utilizing data supplied by the Street and Traffic Division.
The ranking will be integrated with other project needs and the total list will be reviewed and
adjusted to the particular need of the City of Yakima.
B) The City needs to amend the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities
Element to incorporate the adopted six -year TIP for 2015 to 2020. This will ensure that we are
in compliance with the Growth Management Act and that we are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan as required. The amendment is limited to incorporate only those projects
that adopted in the STIP and is not subject to the "once a year" change required under the laws
of the Growth management Act.
